Navigating Life-Threatening Moments on the Road with Trucking Ray and Matty G
In this episode of That’s Delivered, Trucking Ray and Matty G dive into the hidden dangers that truck drivers face every day. From fiery disasters and confusing enforcement to unsafe infrastructure and new parking restrictions, they break down how quickly a normal shift can turn into a life-or-death situation. The conversation focuses on emergency preparedness, prioritizing safety over cargo, and the real-world impact of rules that don’t always make sense. They also highlight innovative ideas to make the roads safer—like transporting trucks by train through dangerous terrain. Whether you’re behind the wheel or sharing the road, this episode offers a critical look into the realities of trucking today.
Key Takeaways:
✅ A Flying J in Texas burned to the ground, leading to a deep conversation on how drivers should prepare for emergencies on the road.
✅ Emergency safety gear matters: fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and knowing when to walk away from the truck.
✅ San Antonio bans overnight truck parking, adding more stress for drivers already struggling to find legal, safe places to rest.
✅ A sober driver was placed out of service over sealed beer bottles—raising important questions about the rigid enforcement of some regulations.
✅ Tragedies like the Wyoming tunnel fire and an overpass crash involving a prefab home reveal how fragile road safety can be.
✅ The hosts discuss a creative solution: transporting trucks by train through Colorado’s mountains to prevent accidents and reduce congestion.
✅ Matty G’s honest takes and Trucking Ray’s industry experience make for a powerful, no-fluff conversation every driver (and road user) should hear.

So we do have some things set up here for you. We'll get some news and also entertainment. There's a lot of tunnel crash where we're going to break down, and also a proposal of load trucks into trains through Colorado Mountains. So buckle up. It's another episode of Das Delivered. Welcome back to the show, matty G. How's it going, man?
Speaker 4:going good, mr Truck and Ray. How about you?
Speaker 3:all right, man, glad to have you back on the show. Got some, uh, some exciting topics to talk about. Uh, a few things that we want to highlight is keep it safe out there on the road, but yet also be aware of the conditions that are out there. Fire is a big thing right now in Texas because of the truck stop. What do you think about this truck stop fire man? That's a big deal there. You need a truck stop and then it catches on fire. That's dangerous.
Speaker 4:I don't know. Tell me a little bit about it.
Speaker 3:All right, not much to play. This looks terrible. Let me add this in here. There it is.
Speaker 4:Holy cow.
Speaker 3:Do that again.
Speaker 4:There had to be a. What kind of truck stop was that? Tna Dang.
Speaker 2:The only thing that this story is missing is some real truck driver man. I was in my cab and all of a sudden I started smelling smoke. I couldn't believe it. I came out, it was everywhere. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Speaker 4:I uh, that's what they need. Some good old, real hillbilly come out doing the commentator man, there was fire trucks everywhere I mean that's them fires were higher than a draft.
Speaker 2:Sass I, yeah, I would uh that'd be a little much yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 3:It's pretty intense. Burn it to the ground, it's a flying j.
Speaker 4:They showed the sign on that one, so I'm assuming some trucks got damaged right the heat probably so intense. I mean melting tires airlines.
Speaker 3:Well, what do you think the first thing you would grab if you had to get out of the way, or would you try to move the truck, or what would you try to do? I'd drop my keys, get the hell out of there. You're in the bathroom trying to get out of there. First thing I grabbed by the bathroom is toilet paper getting out of there. First thing I grab in the bathroom is toilet paper. I'm getting out of there. What's something drivers can do to prepare for emergencies like this? What do you think? What should we tell them?
Speaker 4:Well, we've touched on this before urban driving. There is nothing in the handbook. I mean, as crazy as the world is getting, everything is getting crazy. I mean driving is getting crazy. Weather, you know, I'm sure years ago the only thing you had to really worry about as a truck driver is a is a tornado. I mean what you can't really pair. You know, carry anything with you for that. But I mean, I mean, what do you carry? I mean a fire blanket, a heat retended plate? I mean uh, I mean I guess that's not that bad of an idea.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you never know, you might have to help somebody out and need. You got your fire extinguisher there. You don't have to hold somebody down with that.
Speaker 4:But I mean you know, pretty soon you're going to have to carry, have to have a trailer to carry all the stuff you need to carry.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that roller bag. Yeah, Bag with wheels on it, they got a pilot 18 wheeler. Yeah, bag with wheels on it, they got a pilot 18-wheeler.
Speaker 4:Yeah, don't worry about that, that's just my truck and bag.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Some of them carry a lot.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think you know I'm kind of one of those guys that I go through the bag every once in a while and I'm like when's the last time I used this? Have I ever came in a scenario where I needed to use it?
Speaker 3:And then I'm just getting rid of it.
Speaker 4:I mean now going over the road. That's a little different. I mean you're at the mercy. We got some potential somebody coming to save us. I mean you're out there by yourself. You got to really have everything.
Speaker 3:They got a lot more cubby holes in the sleepers versus the day cabs. Day cabs is going to be a little more, you know, be more restricted what you have in there. So you got less cubby holes and stuff. So, yeah, the sleepers are going to be the way to go so you can pack some stuff in there and maybe you need to help somebody out in need. You know, those fire extinguishers make sure they're good to go for fires. Yeah, and the blanket that ain't a bad idea. I'll tell you right now that fire extinguisher ain't going to do none of that little fire that you just showed, not one bit.
Speaker 4:Not one bit, I mean, and there also has to be a point when you're retrieving. You know. I mean, you're not some of these fires you know you might be adding an accelerant, whether it's a, you know, a chemical fire, certain types of things. You know the old grease fire. You know people dump water on it. Yeah, that's so. Call the professionals. That's my advice.
Speaker 3:Call the professionals.
Speaker 4:Run like hell and call the professionals. That's my advice. Call the professionals, run like hell and call the professionals, all right.
Speaker 3:So next one is San Antonio hit the news. They made some changes. They banned overnight truck parking. Right now the country's dealing with a lot of parking issues and you have a city that's clamping down. They're saying that they don't want trucks to park. They're not allowed in San Antonio overnight. It looks like they put in an amendment, so semi-parking has already been prohibited on residential streets, but the amendment will also ban semi-trucks from parking within a thousand feet of residential areas. So between the hours of midnight and six. So between the hours of midnight and six. Amendment allows exemptions for semi trucks hauling, unloading or making emergency repairs. So you just can't leave your bobtail by your house and the city of San Antonio Looks like that's thirty five to a five hundred dollar fine for violating.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean I should be able to, for violating. Yeah, I mean I, you should be able to. I don't know, that's kind of a I get. I get the people, you know you got some of these truck drivers that are absolute slops, you know, I get, if you're doing all that, leaving the, you know the trash behind. But I get, if you're doing all that, leaving the, you know the trash behind. But I mean, if you're coming home and you need a place to park, I mean you know you're paying taxes anyway because you live in that neighborhood. Right, you know you should be able to, uh, within reason of not, you know, necessarily ripping up the asphalt and doing all that. I mean that's a little, a little much.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:I mean crazy. Yeah, they, just they. They don't want you to do that, they, they, they. They happy when you, they ain't happy when you ain't working, and then they ain't happy when you are working, if you're driving a truck.
Speaker 3:Ain't that for real? I mean, you got this guy here. He got hit in California. Looks like he had some beer bottles in the fridge. That's some Coronas. Looks like they put him out of service. They say he can't drive. They put them out of service. So they say you can't drive. They text uh, drivers out of service to the CFR. So title 49, part three, nine 2.5, a three no drivers shall be on duty or operate a commercial motor vehicle while the driver possesses wine.
Speaker 4:Can't have any alcohol in the cab. I mean, I don't know, I don't know why that's such. Uh, I don't, I don't, I don't get why the rule is there if you're not drinking. But also and this is one thing that we have got away from as people the rules are just sometimes the rules. I mean the rule is you can't have no got no alcohol in the cab. It doesn't say you can't have no alcohol if you're wearing red pajamas. You can't have no alcohol if you're sober but you got it open and you're bringing it to your wife. You just can't have no alcohol at all. Well, when I went to truck driving school, I know the rule was no liquor in the cab.
Speaker 3:See what we got here. We got some share the screen stuff again here.
Speaker 4:This reminds me of the Jay Leno show when he used to pull up when he had the goofy hat on, and then he'd pull up the cards with some weird stuff on it.
Speaker 3:I got some crazy comments here. Must have been a slow day. This is Boo Defund. Chp Boycott Cali. Wow, they were not in the cab. Where are these from? They were in his house Because you know the birth is the house. This was an illegal search. The Fourth Amendment right violation. Hearing glass clink inside of the sleeper berth does not constitute probable cause. Oh man, they just own it.
Speaker 4:Look at that thing you like that. Yeah, I just uh. What is that? The picture of the sleeper, oh my god kind of looked a little nasty that's just that's that life, man yeah, don't don't hit me up with that. He looks like. He looks like he's doing a little more than just a couple drinks why you like them.
Speaker 3:Bricks at the bottom.
Speaker 4:Bricks. I don't know why, but I started to think all white bricks.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:That makes sense buddy. Yo Gotti's. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, if the rule is the rule, I'm not arguing the fact that I agree with the rule. The rule is the rule. I mean it's just the rule. I is the rule, I mean it's just the rule. I mean I don't know what to tell you. I mean, did you? You got caught with, uh, liquor in the cab, and so now they're arguing the fact that it was an illegal search. Huh, so why did? Why did he get searched?
Speaker 3:now he's missing a during inspection. Yeah, it was an inspection of an overweight violation, so he didn't messed up on that. And then, uh, oh my god, yeah, so it was. It was during the inspection of an overweight violation, or inspectors heard the glass clinking noise coming up from within the cab. So you know he's shaking the cab and the bottles are clinking. So, um by four officers, four empty and three unopened bottles of beer were found in within the vehicle. So it says four empty, three unopened, oh, seven pack.
Speaker 4:I know they sold them seven packs so I don't know, I just uh, some things ain't right. But you know you got. You got caught with some liquor in the car. You ain't supposed to have it.
Speaker 3:I don't know I like it all right. The next one is um truck hauling. Truck hauling a prefab home hits overpath, pilot vehicle damaged. So you know how they got that pilot vehicle going out in front of them and kind of checking things out. Should be should have let them know about the overpass, I guess.
Speaker 4:But should have. That's his job. I hope he got fired. The other guy shouldn't have got fired. I hope he got fired. The other guy shouldn't have got fired.
Speaker 3:The Canadian police are investigating an overpass strike that occurred on Highway 99 on Wednesday. No, no, it says. The pilot vehicle that was following the tractor following was damaged when the overhead load of the lumber fell off the trailer and hit the pilot's vehicle and hit the windshield. The tractor trailer stopped at the scene. The driver and the company involved will be investigated. So they didn't keep going. You know you should always report your accidents.
Speaker 4:I mean I, I, this is a pretty preventable situation that this guy just ran into though.
Speaker 3:situation that this guy just ran into though, I mean he literally has one job and it's to watch to make sure that this guy can get through there. And I mean he wasn't in front. No, he was behind him. I don't know why. What are you doing behind the guy?
Speaker 4:maybe he's dyslexic got it backwards got it backwards. Well, well then, he should still be fired yeah, he had one job.
Speaker 3:he didn't get injured, though they don't show any. There's no video on that one, so he's good to go. He can do it again. We'll see what happens next time. You know I worked at.
Speaker 4:We worked at other places where people hit bridges and stuff. I think there's a there's a little lackluster that comes with doing that. I mean, Well, I mean you're not paying attention, You're lackluster. I mean, you know, the one that comes to mind is the one over in St Paul, that arch, that bridge over in Como, there, I don't know how many times that's been hit. Yeah, I just don't. God forbid, I hope that never happens to me. You have to not be paying attention.
Speaker 3:Have you ever had an escort vehicle? Drop the ball on your load.
Speaker 4:No, no, no vehicle dropped a ball on your load. No, no, you know, I guess that's like that. Like, uh say, you're driving and you got, you got bad tabs and your buddy's following you and all of a sudden your, your buddy, takes off on you and now you're exposed in the police.
Speaker 4:That's yeah you're supposed to stay behind you, come on, that's about the only escorting I know, and, uh, you're supposed to stay behind you. Come on, man, that's about the only escorting I know, and you're supposed to follow me home. Man, you let me out to drive.
Speaker 3:They're asking the question should there be more training and accountability for escorts, escort vehicles? You know, because sometimes they're hired, you know, to help out like a lumper. They're kind of hired to help you get the job done up out like a lumper.
Speaker 4:They're kind of hired to help you get the job done, so there should be some type of standard versus some guy just picking up the truck that day and driving that. I'm going to be a spotter.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I got you, bro, Don't worry about it. You know I'm there, I'm right behind you. If you see a bridge, just I don't know. Yeah, he, he, definitely. I don't think you want to be the guy all the time. I see, uh, in front well, maybe he took it.
Speaker 4:The definition of spotter is like watching him, like like he thought he was.
Speaker 3:He's supposed to watch the load like you can go ahead of the truck to let them know.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but some of that has to go on the truck driver's fault too, saying hey, bro, you're supposed to be in front of me.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:He's the hey. You know what they like to say he's the professional yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, oh yeah. It's always the driver's fault. How about that one? How did we mess that up? You know, maybe it was a Prius.
Speaker 4:Oh my God. I want to say that I've seen a Prius spotter before.
Speaker 3:They didn't have to fill up.
Speaker 4:They're down for the long haul.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they down for the long. They down for a lot of stuff. Yeah, nothing, I want anything to do with it that window in the back, like that hashback window. They can yell, they can throw signs up in the back window and you can see them.
Speaker 4:It's dicey.
Speaker 3:Yeah. And then we got a Green River tunnel crash where by a spin-out pickup Not a trucker, just a pickup truck Got something for you here.
Speaker 6:Maybe we can watch this one speed says a pickup losing control on ice is what caused this deadly tunnel fire in green river, wyoming on valentine's day. The preliminary investigation says a pickup drove out of the tunnel and spun, hitting a guardrail. Other cars on their way out of the tunnel will they swerve to avoid the pickup, including a tractor trailer that jackknifed and blocked both lanes of traffic. You can imagine that caused a chain reaction and all the cars hitting each other then sparked the fire. Three people in the crash, one in the tractor trailer, then from the fire. 20 other people were hurt. We've been following that closely for the past month or so. We'll continue to with more details.
Speaker 4:So you mean to tell me they had people going in two directions in that little old tunnel?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, got me man, that doesn't look good at all. Yeah, and then people died.
Speaker 4:Man, it looked like a crappy tunnel to begin with.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's bad man. This man you know respect, respect your career. You know, respect your job, respect your life. I mean, there's families out there that, uh, you got to be careful when you're on the road, man, those families are hurting down there, they're not with their loved ones or, um, they're missing. You know, and it's because you know that pickup truck, pickup truck driving on ice, lost control. How do you get ice in a tunnel Dripping from the oh, the top.
Speaker 3:Right as they come out. He must have spun out and hit the exit part of it. Then the semi-truck jackknife tried not to hit him. That might be a good time to just keep going. No jackknife in there Trying to swerve and stuff.
Speaker 4:You know it's uh huh I know what to say, what to do and what to say two different things, I mean that's like you know, that's like you know the old deer coming at you yeah, don't yeah, it's uh, you gotta, we gotta focus, not to swerve yeah, well, you can't be on the phone.
Speaker 3:going through the tunnel you're thinking you it's the time to relax. It might not be the time to relax. I mean that looked terrible. Me looking at tunnel the footage they got on that it's like.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't know. I'm not trying to make jokes about that, but looking at that tunnel just made me want some barbecue, because it was dark.
Speaker 3:I was like man who looks charred up in there, the barbecue man right there. That's the barbecue man talking. We're going to have to have an episode with you barbecuing while we do this.
Speaker 4:It's like some good barbecue.
Speaker 3:It's not barbecue. I eat. I be eating. Yeah, that's okay. Well, I'm sorry for those people that lost their loved ones. Terrible Hope that none of us are involved in that or have any issues in the tunnel. I Any issues in the tunnel. I mean, you know, like you said, you can say what you should do or how you should handle it, but when you're in that situation you just don't know. Man Pete thought he could clear it. Probably he or she was trying to get out of the tunnel, but that didn't happen. So you got a semi-block in the whole tunnel Not good. So it says a proposal to load trucks into trains through Colorado's I-70 mountain corridor.
Speaker 1:The I-70 can become such a nightmare in the wintertime so many trucks that lose traction and get stuck heading through the highest parts of the Rockies. Cdot has tried chain laws and expensive tickets, but say that we still see way too many traffic jams and closures that can last hours. Tonight the problem solvers are looking at a new proposal to get more trucks off I-70 in the winter. Now what if we put those trucks on trains? This is a picture of how they do it in the high mountain passes of the Austrian Alps, and now it's a real proposal here in Colorado. Rachel Sauer, live with what she's learned about all this tonight, rachel.
Speaker 7:Yeah, jeremy and Christine, while many people have been there on a busy Saturday, during a high ski season or even after a bad crash. But one Amtrak conductor says that he has a plan that will not only reduce this congestion, but also save Colorado some money as well. After 30 years with Amtrak, brad Swartzwelter is now retired, but not only is he still thinking about trains, it's this incurable illness that a lot of us have. He's thinking about ways to use them to improve people's lives.
Speaker 5:Our biggest problem in the state of Colorado, I think by far, is congestion on Interstate 70.
Speaker 7:He says, every time there's a stoppage on I-70 into the mountains, it costs Colorado nearly two million dollars an hour, a number confirmed by the state in a recent analysis, which is why he has a plan and it follows a model in Austria called the rolling road.
Speaker 5:Truckers just drive right onto flatbed train cars at a specialized terminal, leave the cab connected, climb into a passenger car where they can get Department of Transportation authorized rest.
Speaker 7:He says this will reduce the number of trucks on the interstate from Aurora to Grand Junction, reducing congestion while also reducing emissions.
Speaker 5:The train uses about one-tenth of the fuel per ton that the trucks use.
Speaker 7:Swartz-Welter says he understands there may be questions about the logistics and Greg Fulton, president of the Colorado Motor Carriers Association, says he is especially concerned about the cost.
Speaker 5:And even on the amount that a fuel set, aviance and costs like that, you know it's going to be significantly greater.
Speaker 7:He also says the big rigs making the more than 300 mile trip from Aurora to Grand Junction or beyond are not enough to contribute to all the congestion on I-70.
Speaker 5:We're a very small percentage of the overall traffic.
Speaker 7:Swartz Welter says he welcomes the questions and understands the cost aspect to this.
Speaker 5:I have no problem going to the taxpayers of the state of Colorado to ask them if this is a good idea or not.
Speaker 7:But he hopes it'll pay off in the long run.
Speaker 5:It's got to be something that does more than just economic sense. It has to make societal sense. I think this does both.
Speaker 7:Yeah, this is still very much still an idea and he's encouraging people to continue to ask questions and have discussions about it to see if this really is a viable solution for the I-70 corridor. Live in Jefferson County, Rachel Sauer, Fox 31.
Speaker 1:Rachel, thank you, it's amazing.
Speaker 3:You like that? Yeah, why you don't? I don't know them trains, they derail too. You know they derail a lot More than people know. Yeah, I mean you going to be on the train when it derail. I mean you're going to be on the train when it derail. Now, we're just creating one problem for another. Well in theory.
Speaker 4:I bet you there's a lot more car accidents than there is trail derailments. A train derailment, by definition, could be also extremely minute. It doesn't necessarily mean catastrophic. I think it's a good idea. I thought it was funny. I wasn't funny but the fact that the dude said our biggest problem by far is traffic. I said, wow, he's living in a good place.
Speaker 3:Two million dollars an hour. What do you mean to run that thing? Oh, that they're losing. No, there's far more car accidents than train derailments. Train car accidents over six million reported annually than train derailments. Train car accidents over six million reported annually. Train derailments are a thousand.
Speaker 3:But you know he the other guy that he said that there's still going to be some congestion, there's still going to be accidents um, it's not going to just take away the congestion by getting the trucks off the road. But you never know. I mean, when I pull over to go through the way scale and you look, you take a look over there and you see that all the cars running free like you know you want you over there and it does look less congested when we get off the road. Um, so he's got a point. You know, if we go off on a on a way scale exit and we get in line and we can just roll right onto a train, ideally that looks great and you know, on paper that looks amazing, but in reality I mean, that sounds like a backup right there.
Speaker 4:You know you'd have to look at the logistics there of what, how many they're doing. You know the terrain versus that terrain. But also I've even thought a little further than just the, the congestion. I mean how many catastrophic accidents are occurring each year with these? You know, accidents in the hills with semi-trucks, not only to semi-truck drivers but to regular pedestrians that are in their vehicles. I mean, I think it frees up a lot.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think, I think I think they might be onto something, because those mountains are no joke, you know. You got to know how to drive in them. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4:But see, the thing is, how many people do you got to lose until they start doing stuff like that.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's right on this plan.
Speaker 4:Anyway, they got to build it I remember a few years ago there was uh, uh. There's so many car accidents on this particular road and until so many people died, that's when they put the barrier in there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, people die and they don't want it to be in vain, so they just got to figure out how many they need to die before they take a serious. That's terrible. Yeah, that sounds bad. Yeah, it sounds real bad. And you hope that it's not you. I don't know anybody, you know. Yeah, that sounds bad. Yeah, it sounds real bad. You hope that it's not you. I don't know anybody, you know. I mean, we just hope it ain't anybody at all. Yeah, that's great. I mean, when I was growing up, they had these intersections that were terrible, and then they would wait for people to you know some fatalities, and then they would put a stoplight there. Yeah, we got to have six people die here before we put a stoplight in here. Yeah, but you know, stoplights too can be dangerous too, I guess. Oh, mabel, mabel was the sixth one.
Speaker 4:We gotta put the stoplight in there that's terrible, yeah.
Speaker 3:So, uh, we gotta keep trying to do better, you know. Do better on the road. Um, you gotta think about, you know everybody's life matters and you gotta think about when you're out on the road. You gotta got to take it serious. You don't want to be hitting bridges. You don't want to get truck stop fire. Look out for each other. You don't want to see that grease popping. You got to turn it down. You don't want to have it popping so high that it's setting the whole place on fire. That Denny's man, they're probably pumping out the orders. Yeah, huh, I want some chicken. You say grease popping?
Speaker 4:yeah, they they was trying to get the mortars done. Man, you know, yeah, yeah, maybe they, maybe they were going belly up with the price, the price of eggs. Yeah, I think that's probably what happened the eggs.
Speaker 3:Set it off.
Speaker 4:Let's burn this joker down, we lose too, much, then it was the one, I think.
Speaker 3:They just raised their price because of eggs, really Cutting in the margins, yeah man, you're messing my eggs.
Speaker 4:I know you're a breakfast guy. You're probably really feeling it now, boy.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, I already had my breakfast before I came on.
Speaker 4:I know, but still the price of eggs, man, that eggs is going in everything you like your French toast.
Speaker 3:I'm going to buy it. That's like air man. You got to have the eggs man. I ain't playing around with that.
Speaker 4:There's a couple of things I cut back on, but eggs ain't one of them, ain't one of them?
Speaker 3:Yeah, they bring it on. What if they get up to $15? Don't say nothing like that. Huh, each egg is a dollar.
Speaker 4:That's what they're going for, yeah but if they keep going up in price I'm going to turn into the Nino Brown of eggs man. I'm going to be bagging up eggs. You don't see me standing on the block in farm town boy with a duffel bag. Call me duffel bag egg boy.
Speaker 3:Duffel bag. Yeah, I mean, maybe they're trying to get to a dollar an egg. You know, One egg is a dollar.
Speaker 4:Two for $75. They're trying to get rid of Bitcoin. Is that what you're saying? They want the eggs to kick over Bitcoin.
Speaker 3:That's what they should do is come up with an egg coin.
Speaker 4:We might be on to something. We can get a million dollars worth of game for free.

I mean, it's a lot of money that's being spent, a lot of lives that have lost on the road. It is a serious deal. What we can do is we can talk about it and try to find ways that we can prevent some of this stuff, but in the meantime we got to just raise awareness that that, hey, we got to be safe out there, you know. So what are you, what are you gonna say for people out there, man? You got people hitting the bridges, you got fires. You know you got to look out for everybody when you're out there on the road.
